ITWAS A GREAT SURPRISE
IfOne Railroad Is Liable to the^Government All of Them Are,^Says the Court The Plaintiffs^Given Power to Amend.
SanFrancisco, June 20.^I'nlted States^Circuit Judge Ross to-day rendered his^decision on the demurrer of Mrs. Jane^L. Stanford against the suit of ihe^government to recover fl3.000,ooo from^the estate of her late husband. The de^^murrer was sustained. Judge Ross al^^lowed the government to amend Its^former complaint and reargue Its case.^If It so desired. It was Intimated, how^^ever, that this step would not affect^the case, the law, as construed by-^Judge Ross, not favoring the case of^the United States. The sustaining of^the demurrer was a surprise, the attor^^neys generally expecting a contrary de^^cision. The court began by reading^and explaining the acts and statutes,^both state and federal, which had any^bearing on the construction of the com^^pany's railroad and Its relatives. Hall-^roads west of the Mississippi river^were, he said, constructed under the^same acts, so if one road was liable to^the government, all of them were lia^^ble.
Innearly all of the corporations In^^land Stanford was a stockholder. To^^gether with C. P. Huntington and other^Incorporators, he owned 130,880 shares^of the stock. The government, accord^^ing to its contract. Issued bonds to aid^In the construction of the road. Though^the road was built under that contract.^It was incorporated under the laws of^the state. Therefore It became, in i^way, amenable to the laws of Califor^^nia. The laws of California providing^that stockholders of corporations^are Individually responsible for the^debts contracted by their companies, he^held, did not affect Stanford, as the^government claimed, for the reason^that the stockholder liability acts were^passed after the government had made^Its contract with the Central Pacific.^If thosj laws had been passed before^the government bonded the Central^Pacific, however, it would have madi^no difference, as the government had^no intention of making the stockhold^^ers of the railroads It bonded person^^ally responsible for the debts con^^tracted by the company. The Central^Pacific, the court continues, had some^^thing of a national tone to it. When^it was contemplated the country was^In a state of turmoil. The government^wanted quick communication between^the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. At^that time the building of the railroad^was a great undertaking^too vast for^private enterprise, so the government,^In order to assist In the work, issued^the bonds, and In this way made the^railroad builders, particularly, the^agents of the United States. It was^very plain that In case the railroad did^not pay the bonds upon maturity, the^secretary of the treasury has the power^to take possession of the roads. The^bonds are Identical with a first mort^^gage.
Didthe company who became in^^debted to the United States promise to^repay the money'.^' asked the court.^^The statute on this point is not very^explicit, which is to be very much re^^gretted,^ said the judge. ^A promise^is only implied. Ttiere was no explicit^or unqualified agreement between the^corporation and the government. It^Is to be observed that the lands and^bonds were not to be delivered to the^i ompany until the road was equipiied.^Here is found a promise , but it Is an^unqualified promise to repay the nmn-^ey. The government had no intention^of making these men individually re^^sponsible. That question never enter^^ed in the contract. The covenant did^not stipulate that the stockh-riders^sh,mill repay the bonds. The acc -jit i.ice^of the bonds was an implied act Ol the^j stockholders to pay them. The stock^^holders accepted the assistance if the^; government with the agreement that^, they should pay for It. that was all.^j There are no common law liabilities.^The state law llxes the liability of^stockholders in proportion t,i the^I amount of stock they possess. That^j law. however, cannot be held t 1 apply^in this .-as.-, as it was pass1,! subse^^quent 10 the making of the government^contract with the Central Pacific com^^pany. The real question involved is^whether Wiere was a contract between^the defendant and plaintiff and wheth^^er then- w.is .1 liability provi^-^. Re^^verting to the provisiuns in the lavs of^the United States there can be found^no such agreement. The statute* do^not hold the defendants liable. There^is absolutely nothing to estaonsh this^fact, and I sustain the demur.-;r and^give the plaintiff fhe power lo ::m rd.^^concluded Judge ROM

TERRIBLE INJURIES INFLICTED^BY THE ANIMAL'S TUSKS.
:One Thrust From th. Hog's Tooth fal^^tered the \\ un1.11, - Lung ami Inflicted
aMortal Wound-Child K.caped.
NewYork, June 29.^The Herald's^special from Tallahassee, Fla., says:^Near this place, on Saturday after^^noon, Mrs. Ksther Moore was attacked^by a wild hog and nearly torn to^pieces. The woman and her little girl^had gone out to pick berries, and were^busily engaged when the animal with^fierceness, charged upon them. The^child fled, but her mother tripped and^fell, and in an Instant the hog was^upon her, tearing her with Its sharp^tusks.
Kverythrust tore the flesh in a hor^^rible manner. One thrust entered near^the woman's rip.ht ankle and extended^to the thigh, cutting the flesh as a ra^^zor would have done.
Thelittle girl's screams attracted a^neighbor, who rushed to the spot and^shot the animal. Om thrust from the^I hog's tusk had entered the side, and^1 penetrated the lung, making a mortal^wound. The woman's clothing had been^torn off and her clothes were torn to^shreds.

Tacoma,Wash., June 29.^ Represent^^ative W. H. Doollttle left to-day for^Washington to spend the summer,^transacting business ,,f Importance to^the state. As a result of his recent^oriental trip ho will work to secure the^enactment next winter of a measure^providing for the coinage of ^chop^^dollars for use In transacting business^In the orient^in Japan and China^especially. Mr. Doollttle says: ^Great^Britain has long been coining these^dollars, placing Japanese ^chop^ or^charactirs. representing the amount of^silver In the piece on one side and the^British stamp on the other. This cur^^rency has leen of gi,at service to^British merchants transacting business^In China and Japan ami hence to the^British nation at large. Our trade dol-^j lars might have served the same pur^^pose, but lacking the Japanese ^chop^^I nr character Indicating the value, the^I Chinese and Japanese did not under-^| stand them and would not use them.^The measure I think congress will en^^act will provide for the coinage of^these dollars with the eagle on one side^and the Japanese ^chop^ on the other.^The piece will be irredeemable In gold^and will contain about the same^amount of silver as the American dol^^lar. It will purchase in Japan about^double the amount that a gold dollar^will purchase In this country.

GovernorRickards Declines to Inter^^fere in Push's Behalf.
HEHAS STUDIED THE CASE
AndDoes Not Think Mercy Should^Bo Extondeti Railroad Men^of Butte Petition Against^Commutation.
SpecialDispatch to the Standard.
Helena.Mont., June 29.^C. L. Camp^^bell and Charles Z. Pond apcared be^^fore Governor Itickards to-day with^two petitions tot commutation of the^death sentence m the Pugh case. Ac^^companying the petition, wnlch has the^signatures of numerous citizens of^Boulder and Butte, were affidavits of^three citizens of Boulder that they^heard Jurors In th- , ase say that they^found a verdict of murder in the first^degree because they understood, under^the instructions of the court, that they^could not bring a verdict for a lesser^crime. Affiant James Mitchell testified^that he had heard Juror K. Tindall^make such an explanation, and affiant*^Otto A. Rledell and Charles 7.. Pond^gave the same testimony about Juror^L Flood. Three, jurors ask that the^sentence be commuted. They are Will^^iam Channel, S. S. Stewart and James^If. Holt. Governor Itickards. after^giving the matter serious consideration^for a number of hours to-day, declined^to Interfere
Inan interview this afternoon he^said: ^No, I do not think 1 should^interfere in this matter. The murder^seems to have been a most brutal one,^wholly without cause. I have looked^over not a little of th, evidence and^I can see no reason why nurcy should^be extended. Pugli did not act In self-^defense when he committed the crime.^Conductor West was discharging his^duty when he put Pugh off the train.^He was shot In tl.e back, and there^seems to ho; no mitigating circum^^stances in the case. Pugh, of course,^was angry, but that in itself can OOOe^stitute no excuse. The plea for com^^mutation of sentence Is based on the^statement that several of the Jumrs^supposed they could not have brought^in a verdict of manslaughter under^the instructions of the court. These^instructions are very clear and could^not have been misunderstood. The su^^preme court has refused to interfere^and, in vltw of all the facts, I can^^not foil Justice with mercy. Justice, I^believe, has been accorded the con^^demned man.

Butte.June Public gambling died i^in Butte at midnight to-night. While^the new law 011 gambling does not g)^Into effect until July 1, It has been the^custom In Butt- for more than a year I^to hav- no gambling on Sunday, and^^o, while In Helena and Billings and 1^other parts of Montana gambling will^continue until Sunday night or Mon^^day morning, it slopped short in Butte^at || o'clock Satuniay night.
Notin years has there ix'eti a livelier^time in ilutle than the last night of^faro gambling. It looked like the old^days. Only two gambling aoaaOf w-t-^open^the Combination and Avalon.^The Board of Trade, shut up lasi Tues^^day and the others had clooai 0*1^The two gambling houses which stayed^lo the iluish did a rushing business all
taoow ning and taraai taa table* over
witha crowd eager to play.
Alfive minutes before 12 o'clock a^number ^ f old timers went through the^gambling h-uses. Judge New-kirk waa^on,- of He m and taM about how he and^Jim Talbott oaaaai the first faro I iM^in Butte some 2^i years ago. As the^hands of the clock neared the hour ^t^12 o'clock, the playing grew heavy. The^limit, was taki n off on some tables, and^cim young blood was playing faro at^ISO a card at 111 roe minutes before 12^oelock. Tag Combination closed bc-^for^ the town clix k struck 12.
Thelast turn at the first table In the^Combination was a loser for the pro^^prietors.
TIMup-stalrs game was kept going^until aoaill morning, but the public^gambling houses down stairs was^elo^-d-probably forever. The bar will^be kept running for the present, nnd It^Is likely that th ^ poker games will con^^tinue for a while, but faro gambling Is^stopped.
Atthe Avalon the game ran three 1^minutes longer than In the t'ombina- '^lion, the clock being that much slower.^1 hie v, tcran gambl, r, w hen the k nil s^closed, h. |,l out om- re,I check on cash- 1^tng In and said he was going to hold I^that as a souvenir on the death of^faro In Butte. There was talk Of hold^^ing u faro funeral Sunday, but no defi^^nite arrangements wj;re mjjiKl.lai: it.^The Arnlon b^r was closed with the^tables and ev crythlng was off. The^Avalon waaclos.nl tight as soon as th-^crowd got cleared.
MattSlater, behind the bar at the^Avalon, said. ^Take a drink with me.^This is the last ileal.
Thewhole room drank on the bar for^a last drink In the Avalon gambling^house. The leas- of the present propri^^etors runs until July 10. and It Is not^known what character of business will^go Into the old stand then. The new^law makes It a crime, punishable by a^line of not less than $200 or more than^tl.uOu, to carry on or conduct any game^of faro, monte, roul-tt^. I.mquen-t,^rouge-et-ii^lr, r-ndo. tan. fan-tan, stud^^horse poker, si ven arid a half, draw^poker or any banking or percentage^games playcl with cards, dice or de^^vice, for money, checks, credit or any^representation of value, and any per^^son who plays or bets at or against^any such prohibited game or games^is guilty Of a misdemeanor.
Notest ease will be made by tho^Mutt^ gambling house proprietors.^Tlo y se, m to bi pretty well satisfied^to quit. Si m- of the gambling hOVJM^employes a 11 -1 t h..se who hav ^^ c 1 I^living out of gambling for year* kick^hard and say it ends Butte as a lively^town. There Is no d-ubt that there^will be very many quiet resorts where^gambling will be carrl-l N s-cretly.^In fact It Is claimed by the gambling^people that some of these places are^already running. It will be the fault^of the city and th- county ofli ials an I^not of the law If these places are per^^mitted to run. It Is likely that there^will be a big Increase In the number^of concert and beer halls as a conse^^quence of the stoppage of gambllug.

The^Justices of the peace are dissatisfied^over the manner In which Probate^Judge Angle Is handling the matri^^monial end of his court, and they^threaten to give a ^dull season^ rate^to all men who are brave enough to^tako unto themselves better halves.
TheJustices claim that the probate^Judge Is violating- the cods of ethlcw ^f^the profession by soliciting trade In^the matrimonial line. They claim that^when they send men who are deter^^mined to marry to the court hou^e aft^^er the necessary licenses, they seldom^return to have the ceremonies per^^formed. They assert that Judge Angle^solicits the prospective grooms to per^^mit him to tie the knots and that the^Judge, with hi* fine persuasive powers,^almost always succeeds In getting the^Job.
AJustice stated that In order to bring^the probate Judge to time there was^talk among the Justices of reducing^the price. They will first reduce the fee^to 11, and If that does not have the de^^sired effect they will perform cere^^monies for a while for nothing.
